Helen Morales' Spanish Rice

Canola oil
2 cups rice
4 cloves garlic
3/4 c. chopped onion
2 cans (7 oz) tomato sauce

Add canola oil to coat the bottom of a pot
Add rice and saute till toasted...rice becomes milky looking....opaque
Add 2 cloves of garlic and chopped onion (3/4 cup chopped onion)
Helen often adds chopped carrots and peas.
Add 2 small cans tomato sauce (7 oz) and water to make 4 cups liquid. Add 2 cloves on top. Bring to boil, stir and put on low to simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Mary Ann's variation: add 14 oz Pace mild picante sauce instead of the tomato sauce. And water to make 4 cups total liquid. The pieces of chile and peppers in the picante makes it yummy!

Note for 12 adults...we used 2 cups of rice and had some for leftovers
